- TWiV 930: Clinical update with Dr. Daniel Griffin youtu.be/S9Dzy4JuAiQ via @YouTube. Monkeypox, Polio, COVID and the important difference between protection agains infections versus protection against disease with vaccines.
- So I finally got Covid-19. Started Paxlovid because I am 56. Isolating and not seeing patients this week
- David Crosby died after contracting COVID-19, Graham Nash says - Los Angeles Times …”he’d already had COVID, and he had COVID again. And so he went home and decided that he would take a nap, and he never woke up.”
- “Fully vaccinated individuals had a shorter duration of viable viral shedding and a lower rate of secondary transmission than partially vaccinated or unvaccinated individuals.” This is why we care if ‘you’ get vaccinated. It is about living in a community
- My first Moderna COVID Vaccination! Take that COVID
- drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee and 2 to 3 cups of tea per day was associated with a 32% (HR 0.68, 95% CI, 0.59 to 0.79; P < 0.001) lower risk of stroke and a 28% (HR, 0.72, 95% CI, 0.59 to 0.89; P = 0.002) lower risk of dementia. Pour me another cup!
- “None of the incidences of myopericarditis pooled in the current study were higher than those after non-COVID-19 vaccinations, and all of them were significantly lower than those in adolescents aged 12–17 years after COVID-19 infection.” sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
- The Importance of Understanding the Stages of COVID-19 in Treatment and Trials - Remember the Stages of COVID-19. This is not just a 5 day disease. Diminishing the symptoms on the early inflammatory phase is success. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33556957/
- I have now heard from several people with Long COVID who feel significantly improved after getting vaccinated. Would love to hear from more people with Long COVID about their experience with vaccination.
- One third of Long COVID patients had an asymptomatic initial infection. Add Long COVID in children and I thin people bare grasp the gravity of this problem.
- Seeing this myself and hearing this from many of my colleagues. Would love to see data but my estimate is about 40% of our Long COVID patients feel improved after first and now second vaccination. Maybe Shane Crotty of Akiko have ideas on why?
- Really? When did antibodies become correlates of immunity? Didn’t we all learn in immunology class that T cells protect against disease severity w viruses?
- Made it to Panama to meet my daughter @daisysabrinag
